Hopefully your front lip fits better than mine. I had a 2" gap on the drivers side. There was no way double sided tape would hold that.

Very serious. They told me it would fit better if I tried to install it with the bumper off. It didn't. The fit was the same. I used Norton SpeedGrip and 6 clamps.
Check the link to my build thread in my sig for pictures.

I have the same carbon signal lip and had heard about gap issues as well, however I had mine professional molded to the front bumper. That said I wasn’t made aware of any fitment issues.

Here's a pic. I used two saw horses and c clamps to hold it while the spats set.

I doubt home depot would have it. I also doubt autozone or a similar store would have it. Your best bet would be an automotive paint and supply specialty store. I think amazon has it as well. Like i said, if you need some let me know, there is a place not far from me that has it and i can grab it for you and put it in the mail tomorrow. They typically cost $3-$3.50 a packet.

Whichever route you go you need to test fit and mask the area of the bumper where you don’t want adhesion. I used regular blue painters tape and that worked great.

First off buy the 3M VHB (very heavy bond) double sided tape. Also get a tube (for a caulk gun) of builder's adhesive caulk. Now begin at the end of one side ON THE TOP SIDE of the spoiler and place the tape on the leading edge of the spoiler and work your way to the other side. You will have to rip (cut down the middle to make it narrower) the tape around the curves of the spoiler. It is very important to get a contiguous line of tape along the leading edge. Lay down a second row of tape directly behind the first. Next, lay down a heavy bead of caulk into the inside crease (the back edge inside the spoiler). Don't be shy. Now, just peel off the tape backing, and carefully slide the ducktail onto the factory spoiler, all the while trying to keep the tape from making contact until the last second. There is no need to apply tape to the underside, bottom part of the spoiler as it will simply pull away the top as the piece heats and cools. I learned all this the SECOND time I attached my spoiler. Ater six months, it is still not going anywhere. Good luck!
